Gay Christian Music Websites

Averyfineline.com - commentary and criticism about southern gospel music. The site's pseudonymous editor, Avery, regularly comments with insight, sensitivity, and candor about gay gospel performers and related issues of sexuality, identity, and Christianity in gospel music.

Note from Mary: This is an excellent site and well worth a visit!

BALM Ministries - Marsha Stevens' Website. Everyone knows her as the "Mother of Contemporary Christian Music". She is also known as a ground-breaking, brave soul who first spoke out in song to our gay Christian community long before it was a safe thing to do. Her courage, demonstrated in her music, has changed the lives of so many of us for the better. I think she should be canonized. ;-)

Bev Souliere is a great Christian singer/songwriter based in Ottawa and is a good friend of mine. She doesn't have any single CD's out yet but is the lead singer for Women of Wabano.

"The Women of Wabano sing songs that are celebratory, that are traditional and that honour women. Their album, Voices, seeks to send positive traditional messages for Aboriginal people. The album also helps raise funds to support children's programs offered by the Wabano Centre for Aboriginal Health in Ottawa, with all proceeds from the sale of the CD going toward funding those programs." (from Wind Speaker, Aug 1, 2007, Whiskeyjack, Teneil)

I was fortunate enough to date Bev for a while and at the "Girlz Like That" BBQ she sang my favourite song which I videotaped. It doesn't do her justice but it will give you an idea of what an incredible talent she is. Click here to see Bev singing impromptu.

Heidi Hensley - is a recording and performing artist from Athens, GA.

I have developed quite a regional following as a Pop/Rock artist. I have a song in Radio rotation in Athens. I've been played on an Atlanta radio station and I have gained the interest of Virgin, Capital and Atlantic Records.

I'm a somewhat edgy rock artist, a lesbian, and most of all a Christian. 80% of all of the music that I write and perform is Spiritual. There are a lot of gay artists that are promoting their music, but I'm on a mission to become the 1st Gay mainstream, radio played artist. I feel so passionately about my spirituality, and sexuality, and the love and grace that God extends to all of us. I'm wild and free, and commited to God in a powerful way and I want others to see that God loves each of us equally.

Hymnancipation! - is a series of CD's by John Michael McCluney celebrating the great traditional hymns of the Christian faith. These instrumental improvisations for multiple synthesizers embrace each hymn tune with a musical style that has been described as refreshing, engaging, exhilarating, innovative, contemplative, faith-filled and joyful. The intention is to expose and explore the beauty of form and content in each exquisitely crafted tune, with a desire that these renditions will somehow enable yet another generation to be caught up in their enduring quality

These hymn tunes deserve to be liberated from the confines of the church sanctuary. Listen to them in your home. Take them with you in the car. Play them on jogging and bike trails. Use them for personal meditation. If you feel like dancing to them, THEN DANCE! Make them familiar friends; and they will enrich your personal life, as well as your worship life.

Jeanine Noyes is not gay, but she's a beautiful Spirit-filled Christian and the most versatile musician I know. She jumps easily from old standards like "The Tennessee Waltz", to 60's rock 'n roll, to blues, jazz, folk, country and classical. She's a fabulous singer/songwriter/instrumentalist/entertainer. Jeanine has been compared to Sarah MacLaughlan and Carly Simon.

Her roots are in Kingston but Toronto is now her home. If you get a chance to see this woman perform live, prepare yourself for a great evening of entertainment - and if Fegus Marsh is accompanying her, you're in for a double treat. Fergus plays, among other instruments, the Chapman Stick with incredible expertise. If you're not familiar with what a Chapman Stick is, read about it at Stick Enterprises. It's an amazing instument in the hands of an accomplished musician. Fergus has played with Bruce Cockburn for many years and more recently with Steve Bell.

Jeanine has just released a most unique Christmas CD. If you want to give a special present to someone, please buy one from her website.

Jen Foster - Gay Songwriter Wins National Gospel Award

NASHVILLE, TN - The 10th Annual USA Songwriting Competition - a nationally recognized competition that showcases the work of songwriters from around the world - has awarded local out performer Jen Foster first prize in its gospel music category. This is the first time in the history of the competition that the award in the gospel music category has been given to an openly gay performer.

Foster won with the song "Amen" which is included on her upcoming album
"The Underdogs." Foster shares the 2005 awards with winners from as far away as Scotland, Serbia & Montenegro, Indonesia, and Australia.

This award is something of a vindication for Foster who went to a Catholic all-girl school and even served as the president of campus ministry for a time until her sexuality was discovered and she was asked to step down. Though she still identifies as a Christian, Foster still has issues with how the church treats homosexuals. "I try to separate God and Jesus from the followers, but that's still difficult," Foster commented in a recent interview with "O&AN." "The gospel award is very special to me, particularly because I am an out artist and I wanted to challenge stereotypes."

Foster describes "Amen" as a universal song because it is not focused on religion, which she feels can be divisive, but rather on spirituality. "I think there is a perception that gospel awards are reserved for bible-thumping Christians, and this certainly proves that this is not true," Foster elaborated. "In the end the beautiful thing about this is that my sexuality was no issue in this matter. 'Amen' won because it is a powerful song - plain and simple."

Matthew David - His smooth rock vocals on his debut single "Masquerade" have created a stir in the music scene from the West Coast to New York and received radio airplay almost immediately.

The Vancouver based singer-songwriter got his start like many of today's chart-topping artists - by singing in church. Since he was 4, Matthew has been exploring and learning the art of performance. At 18 he packed his bags and moved to England where he studied voice and theatre in London's West End. Since returning to Vancouver, he has been focusing on maturing his sound and crafting his lyrical content.

In November 2009, Matthew released his debut EP album "Masquerade" to a flurry of media attention. He followed up this release with a single in conjunction with the 2010 Games, called "Today" in February 2010. Find all of Matthew's music on iTunes and other major online distributors!
